Thursday morning on Central Vermont Community Radio:
9:00 - 10:00 am
Climate change and habitat change are afflicting moose in Vermont in numerous ways, and in some recent years, more than half the new-born calves have died, mostly from infestations of winter ticks. Researchers throughout New England are setting out cameras, collecting scat and urine, tracking moose with radio collars, and otherwise scrambling to understand what helps moose thrive. Katy Gieder of Vermont Fish and Wildlife will explain what they're learning about What Moose Want—and why researchers look sympathetically at ticks.
Global Foundries, the owner of the former IBM campus in Essex Junction, has petitioned to become a new type of electricity utility. Renewable Energy Vermont (REV) and other organizations advocating for a renewable energy future in the state are objecting, saying the deal would mean Global Foundries would not have to follow the clean energy and climate pollution laws that apply to every other Vermont utility. Peter Sterling of REV will lay out the case for why granting Global Foundries' petition would make it harder for Vermont to achieve its greenhouse gas reduction goals.
